My biggest pet peeve about cycling and people in the US. They think the sport begins and ends with the Tour de France. Even cycling fans think it is everything. I always tell them (and this is the truth), that if I could choose between winning the Tour or Paris-Roubaix, I would choose Paris-Roubaix.
Exactly the same in the UK. |

If they dropped me in the velodrome and I only had to ride the final few hundred meters on a sunny day then I'd love to win Paris-Roubaix. Same goes for Flanders if I was dropped at the top of the Kapelmuur.  |

So, you'd be fine with the Bosberg then? Ok, we'll drop you on Kapelmuur.

You can't drop me there - I'm being inserted into the race at the top. And that year's version will finish at the bottom of the Bosberg.  |

David Millar's life-time ban that he was given by the British Olympic Committee has been revoked, meaning that he'll be able to take part in the Commonwealth Games. |

ARG! Talk about double standard, the BOA is s**t.
Edit: The BOA hasn't lifted it's ban. The scotish commonweath authority has, which means whilst he can take part in the commonwealth games, he can't in the Olympics.
Still a crap decision. A ban is for life, not just "well, he could win a medal you know"

Meh, he was only banned from the Tour de France and other major races for 2 years, the Commonwealth Games does not match the Olympics, so I see no problem with it.

The non-sucky Chavanel will target the RvV, P-R, Amstel and LBL
The taller Sánchez, suckier Sánchez (the Operación Puerto one) will target the GC in either the Tour or the Vuelta and hopes to win a smaller race, although he's not scheduled to ride Paris-Nice.

I hope that become true. It'd mean that justice would be done finally, after so many delays.

Uhm....you didn't understand what I said. Surely.
What exactly do you think I said?

You said that he may target the Tour's GC. If he does, that can only mean that Piti can't be there. If Piti can't be there, it'd be because justice would have been done (okay, leaving injuries aside).  |

"He wants to" doesn't mean the team will let him

Yes, that's why I said that I hope that he finally become the Caisse's leader for the Tour. |
